A

Primary amine reagent

24
Q

What if you reacted Acyl Chloride with 2NH3

A

Creates the primary amine but also NH4Cl

25
Q

What if you reacted Acyl Chloride with 2CH3NH2?

A

It creates CH3NH3+CL- (see p470)

26
Q

Haloalkane to a nitrile compound

A

NaCN reagent

Reflux

27
Q

Nitrile to primary amine

A

H2 reagent

28
Q

Haloalkane to Amine

A

Conc. XS NH3 reagent
With ethanol solvent
Warm

Conditions- ethanol used as a solvent ( prevents substitution of the haloalkane by water to produce alcohols)
excess ammonia is used. This reduces further substitution of the amine group to form secondary and tertiary amines

29
Q

Nitrile to Carboxylic Acid

A

Hydrolysis
HCl/H2O reagent
Heat

30
Q

Aldehyde or ketone to a nitrile

A

HCN reagent
It is created by reacting H2SO4/NaCN (go on arrow in equation)
Very useful as increases the carbon chain

31
